In new book, 400-plus chefs serve up their picks for noodle joints, breakfast haunts, haute dining

In a book published earlier this month, Daniel Boulud, whose restaurants include Palm Beach’s Café Boulud, is among more than 400 chefs who cite their favorite places to eat, whether it’s fine-dining establishments, noodle joints or all-day breakfast haunts.

“Where Chefs Eat” (Phaidon, January 2013), an international restaurant guidebook edited by Joe Warwick (a food critic and co-founder of “The World’s 50 Best Restaurants” awards), includes more than 2,000 recommendations from chefs from around the world.

The chefs, ranging from Rene Redzepi of Copenhagen’s Noma to David Chang of the New York-based Momofuku restaurant group, were asked to submit recommendations in eight different categories in order to provide a degree of structural specificity.

But you’ll have to buy the 700-page book to see their picks because evidently, Phaidon isn’t blabbing about them.

The book lists for $19.95. You can get it cheaper at discount websites such as Amazon’s, and if you go to www.wherechefseat.com, a limited-time discount is available, along with more general information about the book.
